I mark my scallops cutting line with my Frixion pen. I take my long tape measure and just walk it around the scallops and add up the numbers. You can just measure one scallop and multiply but only if all your scallops are the same. Scallops need bias cut binding to maneuver the curves. Leave the scallops uncut until AFTER the binding is sewn one!

Take a measure which is flexible and move it along the scallops. You only need to do one long side and one short side. Add these two together and multiply by 2. I would then add on a good 6" for the final join and the corners may take up extra.
